Main themes
First, we will develop conceptual clarifications around concepts such as non-profit sector, social economy, third-sector ... Then, the course develops the socio-economic frameworks explaining the respective roles of public, for profit and non profit sectors in the provision of quasi-collective goods. Finally, the course covers various public policies (work integration, social services ...) governing the provision of these quasi-collective goods. These public policies are placed in a comparative perspective of the different European welfare states models. We systematically refer to the Belgian and European debates around the place of the third sector and its challenges.
